Page 36The species whose molecular weight is determined is defined by the
concentration units used in the evaluation of the density increment or partial specific volume ( Section II , B ) . B . SOLUTION DENSITY AND VISCOSITY
These quantities ...

Page 79If a protein is present in such a solution and its partial specific volume lies
between that of the solvent at the top and at the bottom of the cell , the protein will
migrate down from the air meniscus and up from the cell bottom until
sedimentation ...

Page 169The partial specific volume may be measured directly , the electron density
increment is a calculated quantity . ... In an equation derived by Casassa and
Eisenberg ( 1964 ) , the apparent partial specific volume using the dialyzate as
reference ...
